                                    Neighborhood Revitalization State Tax Credit

Purpose of this form
This form must be completed by any taxpayer that claims a tax credit as provided for in the Neighborhood Revitalization State Tax Act, 
N.J.S.A. 52:27D-490 et seq. and N.J.A.C. 5:47 et seq. To qualify for this tax credit, the taxpayer must have received a tax credit certificate 
from the Department of Community Affairs for providing funds to implement a qualified neighborhood preservation and revitalization proj-
ect. Credits may be provided up to 100% of the approved assistance provided to a nonprofit orga nization to implement a qualified neigh-
borhood preservation and revitalization project. The maximum credit allowed in any taxable year is $1,000,000. If the taxpayer claims this 
credit on Form CBT-100, CBT-100U, CBT-100S, or BFC-1, a completed Form 311 must be included with the return to validate the claim. 
There are no carryover provisions for this tax credit. Any unused tax credits are forfeited.
Parts III and IV are used to calculate the allowable credit and carryover. Taxpayers filing Forms CBT-100, CBT-100S, or BFC-1 complete 
Part III and CBT-100U filers complete Part IV.

Combined Return Filers
If filing a combined return, this form must be completed by the member that earned the credit. All combined return filers must check the 
combined return filers box at the top of the form and complete Part IV, Section A. 
Members Opting Not to Share. In general, tax credits are earned by a member of the combined group and are shareable with the com-
bined group. However, members are not required to share their credits. See N.J.S.A. 54:10A-4.6.i and TB-90(R), Tax Credits and Com-
bined Returns. In addition to Section A, members that choose not to share must also complete Part IV, Section B and fill in the oval at the 
top of the form to indicate they are not sharing the credit.

         Taxpayers must include the appropriate credit form in the year the credit was earned even if they are not claiming the credit on their tax 
         return.

Part I – Qualifications
To be eligible for the tax credit, the answer to both questions 1 and 2 must be “YES.” If the answer to either question is “NO,” the taxpayer 
is not entitled to the Neighborhood Revitalization State Tax Credit.
The original tax credit certificate and a copy of the completed Form 311 must be submitted by mail to the New Jersey Division of Taxation, 
CBT Refunds/Tax Credits, PO Box 259, Trenton, NJ 08695-0259. Failure to submit this documentation by mail will result in the delay and/
or denial of the tax credit claimed.

Part II – Calculation of the Available Credit
Follow the instructions on lines 3 through 4 to calculate the total Neighborhood Revitalization State Tax Credit.

Part III – Calculation of the Allowable Credit Amount
For CBT-100, CBT-100S, and BFC-1 filers, the allowable Neighborhood Revitalization State Tax Credit for the current year is calculated in 
Part III. Combined return filers do not complete Part III, and must complete Part IV instead.
Line 6 – Taxpayers claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the tax liability to ensure accuracy of the calculation for 
maximum credit allowable.

Part IV – Calculation of the Allowable Credit Amount for Combined Return Filers
For CBT-100U filers, the allowable Neighborhood Revitalization State Tax Credit for the current year is calculated in Part IV. All combined 
return filers must complete Section A. Members that choose not to share their credit must also complete Section B.
Section A – To be completed by ALL combined return filers 
This section calculates the amount of credit allowable for the group. If a member chooses not to share their credit with the group, Section A 
must still be completed to ensure the credit allowed for the member does not exceed the amount that would otherwise be allowed against 
the group tax liability.
The amount of the credit calculated in this section cannot exceed the group tax liability otherwise due. 
Line 11 – Combined groups claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the group tax liability to ensure accuracy of 
the calculation for maximum credit allowable.

Section B
This section is used to calculate the amount of credit allowable for members that choose not to share their credit with the group. Section B 
is completed based on the member’s share of the group tax liability. The amount of the credit calculated in this section cannot exceed the 
member’s tax liability otherwise due. The amount of the credit is also limited to the amount that would otherwise be allowed against the 
group tax liability if the member had been sharing the credit.

Line 17 – Members claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the member’s tax liability to ensure accuracy of the 
calculation for maximum credit allowable.
